Man, that kind of sucks. But at least you'll have exactly waht you wanted when you are done.
7000rpm, I just used a gasket scraper, wire wheel and really fine sand paper to prep my block for the new heads I put on. I didn't do any machining or anything, just covered the holes in the bock so nothing got into it and made generous use of my shop vac after every step to ensure any filings and grit were removed. I also made generous use of oil to flush the block well before i sealed it back up, and changed it again after starting it up and running it for about 15 minutes.
As far as the intake i just used the fel pro 1250 gasket and the cork thingamabobs with the hi temp rtv sealing around the waterjackets and each corner where the cork met the intake gaskets.
